According to a statement from the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office, the girls were in good physical condition.

A concerned resident called deputies, saying that he or she had been contacted by one of the girls. The resident told deputies that they could pick up the girls at the resident's house in Boiling Springs.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing, though deputies have said they did not think the girls were being held against their will.

Michaela Davidson, 16, and Taylor Cromer, 15, walked out of Dorman High School at about 2:15 p.m. Tuesday and were seen on surveillance cameras in the school parking lot and at a nearby Burger King.

Lt. Tony Ivey said authorities think the girls planned to leave the state with Michael Harvey Elgin, 19, and 18-year-old Cullen Dale Still — both of whom face charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Elgin remained at the Spartanburg County jail in lieu of a $15,000 bond. Still, who was arrested at his home in Pacolet, was booked into the jail at about 2:45 p.m. His bond has not yet been set.

Elgin hasn't cooperated with investigators, initially denying he had anything to do with the girls' disappearance and then sending deputies to several locations where he said the girls could be found, authorities said.

Elgin has since told deputies that he took the girls to Motel Six, where they spent the night in a room that was reserved in Still's name, and that the group then headed to Gatlinburg, Tenn., where they spent another night, an incident report states.

In 2010, a then 17-year-old Elgin was charged with calling a bomb threat into Broome High School, forcing the school on lockdown.

Michael Davidson, the father of Michaela Davidson, said early Friday that his daughter's disappearance was out of the ordinary for the honor student.

Davidson said he and his wife think the girls might have planned to leave the school campus to grab something to eat at Burger King, but he thinks they intended to be back in time for their parents to pick them up.

Parents of both girls notified police after they arrived at the school to pick them up and the girls never showed.

Davidson said his family has been overwhelmed by community support on Facebook.
